We even linked to the same website, lol. Great minds think alike? ;) [Well, it was probably more that it was the first result when you type "petteia" into Google but...]
Incidentally, the article didn't state petteia is similar to shogi, but rather to hasami shogi, a variant with rules that are basically exactly the same as the speculated petteia rules. (Honestly it's different enough from regular shogi that I wouldn't call it a variant, but it shares a name so what can you do.)
